That is really disturbing...what your son and his friend did isn't "right", but it's a harmless, silly game teens play. They weren't hurting anyone-more or less just being annoying. It happens all the time when there are kids in the neighborhood.
All that being said, what the guy said and did was completely out of line. Though the man was probably trying to scare the teens, he went way too far. I understand that you don't want to file a police report, but what this guy said and did is considered assault-if the boys felt they were in true and immediate danger, it's classified as assault. If I were you, I'd call the police, and ask what your options are. Also, it might be good to file a report just to get it on the record in case he says anything else to your boy and his friend. |
